Menu Cells

Display -> Hide

The Display -> Hide command is available in all modules except Tools. It hides (makes invisible) one or more elements (objects, cameras, lights) in the windows. As such, it is useful for simplifying a crowded display.

The Schematic window reflects the element's displayed/hidden status. When you hide an element, the corresponding rectangle in the Schematic changes from a filled to an empty outlined rectangle.

In the Schematic and other windows, the hidden elements remain selected or become deselected, depending on your choice of command.

Note:: When you save a scene, all hidden elements are saved as "hidden".

For more information on using these commands, see the Displaying and Hiding Elements section of the Modelling User's Guide.
